lldluNlchi Ihdlbh lo, 1901
My dear sir, there is not a man in
the world who can tell you what ashes
would be worth to you as fertilizer.
That will depend largely on what your
soil needs, on the crop to be raised
with them, on the season, ETC., etc.
All values of commercial fertilizers
given in analyses are the commercial
values-what the ingredients compos-
ing these can be bought for in market
and are no guide to what the actual
benefit to the farmer might be from
their application. The first thing to
be done is to find what the crop needs
and the soil lacks, and then supply that
lack from the cheapest source.
Good hardwood ashes are reckoned
worth about twenty to twenty-five cents
per bushel, and contain some phos-
phoric acid in addition to the potash;
and sometimes leached ashes show
great benefit, out of all proportion to
their chemical values. Muriate of pot
ash contains fifty per cent of potash,
sulphate from thirty to forty, kainite
about twelve per cent, and neither have
any phosphoric acid. Wood ashes con-
tain about eight per cent, and two per
cent of phosphoric acid, leached ashes
one per cent of potash and one and five
tenths of nhOsnhoric arid
Now whether it will be profitable to
you to purchase any of these will de-
pend upon whether your farm needs
potash and how much it needs it, and
for what crops Potatoes require
good deal of potash, and wood ashes or
muriate are valuable; sulphate is not
considered as good as the muriate for
this crop. Kainite we have had no eX-
perience in, and cannot advise as to its
use, but the matter of distance and
freight will enter into the question, and
if to be freighted far we should pur-
chase in the most concentrated form,
as it will cost no more to freight ton
of potash than a ton of earth. Expert
ment will tell you better what you need
than anything else we know of, and
that is Just what we shall try this year.
One thing more should be said, and
that is the muriate of potash is quite
difficult of application to get its full
benefit. 1t is like coarse fine salt in
appearance, and if applied in the hill,
and the rootlets of the young plants
touch a small particle of it, it will kill
them as surely as would coal of fire.
The ideal way to apply it would be to
dissolve it in water and then give the
land good sprinkling. We have mixed
it with dry earth, after pulverizing il
as much as possible, and then spread
broadcast.
Now if some of our brother farmers
will give their experience for the benefit
of Mr.. Porter and others we shall get
still more practical knowledge on the
subject.

WHERE the highway skirts along
meadows or pasture grounds, and its
side bitches do not carry at times dan
gerous torrents of water, it pays very
well for the farmer to take care that
every drop of water he can get is turned
upon his grass land. 1t carries much
fertility with it in the form of silt, and
always more or less manure from the
droppings of animals and from the
carts.-American Ddirymdn

and colonization societies, which are de-
signed to depopulate the good old State of
Vermont, and don't believe in sharks in this
vicinity with half a million dollars who send
all their money West because they can get
one more per cent for it than an honest
Vermont farmer is obliged to pay them.
Brother Harris has head level
enough to lay out land by, and we
heartily second his remarks above,
taken from the Burlington Clipper.
With the same privations endured
here, the same labor expended, living
gagged on the same scale, we believe
as much money can be made here as in
the West, and we have no sympathy
with the schemes to allure people to
Dakota and Montana, from whence
some we know would gladly return to
old Vermont if there was some coloni-
cation scheme to help them back. We
are at loss to know to what to attribute
Colonel Mead's great change of senti-
ment. When he was uperintendent
of agricultural affairs he bewailed in
touching, eloquent sentences, at his
meetings, the deserted homes in Yer
mont, the hill farms turned out to pas
lures, the forsaken school-houses, and
spoke of the desirability of Vermont as
a home as a hobby of his and depre-
Gated the decreasing population of our
state. Then he thought we should not
throw away our best bone and muscle;
we should raise men and women. Then
he believed Vermont was in the path
of progress-that we raised better
crops, more corn and wheat per acre
than we used to; that we had increased
the yield of our diaries, and the num-
Der of cows to the acre; and that we
should increase our population. We
believed the same then, and we believe
it still. What now induces Colonel
Mead to use his influence and elo-
quence to decrease our population-to
make more deserted homesteads, more
hill pastures, more forsaken school
houses?

Wood Ashes as a Fertilizer.

Mr.. Editor Please let me know, through

value of good hardwood ashes as fertil-

besides potash that is of real benefit to the

is sold here to some extent, and | wish you
would give full analysis of its true value
as fertilizer. Truly yours,

80 from Escaping steam.

The frequency Of accidents occurring
through horses becoming frightened by
the escaping steam of locomotives is at
tracing good deal of attention, and in
some states the matter has been taken up
by the railroad commissions. There is a
very simple device on the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis and Chicago road
which prevents all trouble from this
source. 1t is called blowback, and all
waste steam is carried back into the tank
There is no noise from escaping steam
whether the engine be standing still or
moving. New York Mail and Express

A Cloak for Ignorance.

Sudden deaths seem to increase with
frigbtful rapidity In this connection /
might say that in many cases what ply
sicians call heart disease Is successful
cloak for ignorance in the medical world
A young or even old physician may be
treating an individual without any direct
knowledge as to the character of his i'll
ness. Now, should the patient pass off
suddenly the physician can hide his liz.
norance by simply saying his death was
due to heart disease. Physicians, Of
course, know when a patient has heart
disease, but often that is stated as the
cause of dea. h when the patient was in
fact victim of some other disease which
his physician did not know. Physician
